Teaching and Learning Workshops and Events

UTS Business School runs teaching and learning events throughout the year with guest speakers visiting to demonstrate ideas and resources. Before the beginning of each semester there is also a series of teaching and learning workshops available to all academic staff, these workshops cover areas such as, coordinating a subject, assessment and marking, using effective groupwork. See T&L workshops.

Annual Teaching and Learning Forum

Once a year the faculty runs a Teaching and learning forum. This forum is based around a theme and includes a keynote session by a recognised expert in that area. The forum also provides an opportunity for staff to share good practice with their colleagues with previous funded project winners presenting on the findings of their work.

IML activities

The UTS:Institute for Interactive Media and Learning (IML) run a series of teaching and learning activities from the Graduate Certificate in Teaching to workshops on applying for teaching related grants and awards. See UTS:IML events.
